Brass Band brings Christmas to Mansfield

St John’s Church Mansfield will host Whitwell Brass Band for a Christmas Concert for all ages on Saturday 16th December at 6.30pm.

Formed in 1867, Whitwell Brass Band is one of the area's oldest Brass Bands built for and by the local people with a rich heritage in mining and working communities which is still upheld to this day.

Following recent outings at The National Brass Band Area Contests and Bolsover Festival of Brass, the band are eager to reach new people, bring music to new places and provide live music to everyone.

Jared Harding, Band Chairman had this to say:

"As a Mansfield man, born and bred, I think it's so important that people of all ages have the opportunity to experience sitting in front of a large, live band. I learnt to play music in Mansfield thanks to the various organisations, schools and set ups that existed at the time. These days, there are not as many opportunities and we feel a sense of duty to try and change that. We would love to see some new and old faces as we celebrate Christmas in the heart of Mansfield"

On Saturday 16th December 2023, the band are bringing Christmas to the heart of Mansfield with their Festive Celebration concert. With a programme that includes impressive themed medleys, to audience participation and carol singing, all ages are welcome to enjoy this Christmas Concert together.
